tuning on java script

i'm trying to play music in u tube & i get the messsage 'either you have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player'. i'v installed the new version so how do i turn on java script?

 

You could easily have some old Java versions on your machine. Go to add/remove programs, (assuming XP), and remove all Java programs. Then just do a search on MG's home page for Java, follow the links, download and install. That should be all that you'll have to do.:wave:wave

 

If you're using Firefox and have NoScript installed then you have to temporarily allow scripts from YouTube. If you're using IE then you might have to find the settings to allow Java.

 

i'v got Java 2 runtime environment and java(tm) 6 update 17, so is that two different versions?

 

ok i'v definitly uninstalled all old versions & installed the new java & the latest flashplayer but i still get the same message on utube. iv checked ie explorer options & scripting is enabled but some ActiveX options are set to disable?

 

There is a java add-on needed for firefox:

For IE:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Install-Java-in-Internet-Explorer

 

I guess the question should have been asked, what OS and esp. what browser? If IE, what version? What are your security settings?

 

i m trying to play music in u tube & i get the message ;either you have javascript turned off or an old version of adobe,s flash player i have installed the new version so how do i turn on java script?

 

There seems to be some confusion here. Java and javascript are two different things.

You have not answered:

 

Right, I recognized that and I was not replying to that person. mccarthy's question was about JavaScript but replies from three people mention Java, not JavaScript. Java and JavaScript are not the same thing.
